BRAVE STUDIO is a realism‑driven SDXL checkpoint built to deliver clean, coherent, photographic results with zero drift and strong material accuracy. Version 1 establishes the foundation of the brand: stable rendering, natural light behavior, and a mature visual identity that works across portraits, animals, interiors, exteriors, and complex materials.

Recommended Settings

Samplers:
- DPM++ 2M SDE (with or without Karras)
- DPM++ 3M SDE (with or without Karras)
